Lil’ Wang, Keyshia Cole, T-Pain, and Akon hit the stage at the Bank Atlantic Center this past weekend in Sunrise, Florida. Jesus be a sound check. Those must have been some very brave fans to endure that show with KeyLoLo’s yodeling for Scooby snacks and T-Wayne + Akon’s vocalizing. And you already know the evening wouldn’t be complete without a guest appearance by DJ Khaled’s annoying ass screaming about being the best.
Did anybody out there in Crunkland attend the show?
There is a new dance craze sweeping through living rooms and parks called the Wu-Tang. Here’s what the all mighty Wikipedia had to say about it:
Wu-tang is a dance out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, popularized in the area of North Philadelphia before spreading throughout the city and the surrounding region. Lindsay Patterson of Vorhees, NJ is known for creating this dance. The dance is normally performed to Baltimore club music. The dance involves a jerking of the arms in an up-and-down/side-to-side motion. The movement of the arms sometimes resembles flexing. Each individual person adds their own spin to the dance, be it fancy footwork or the mimicking of gunshots. [I can't and I will not. - - Fresh]
A similar Philly dance is the “D-Mack” or “D-Mac,” in which a dancer moves his arms or legs on one side of his body (often in a similar motion as the Wu-tang), and then imitates the same moves on the other side of his body. The Wu-tang dance has become very popular around the Philadelphia-New Jersey-Delaware-Baltimore region, and it has been compared with the “Chicken Noodle Soup Dance” of Harlem, the Bay Area’s hyphy dances, Atlanta’s crunk dances, Baltimore’s “Rockin’ Off” dance, Miami’s “stickin’ n rollin’”, and Compton’s “Krumping” or “crip-walking.”
Let’s all synchronize our watches to see how long it takes until a teenager turned YouTube sensation releases a song to accompany the dance.
Janet Jackson and that gobblin she is fucking with [well?] hit up the Dior ‘09 Spring Summer Haute Couture fashion show in Paris, France. I see she still hasn’t returned sister LaToya’s freakum wig. In news related to the singer, she will mentor a group of aspiring singers and dancers in the as-yet-untitled project, which will be filmed before she starts her world tour later this yearfor a new MTV reality show.

OMG, it’s like the clash of the titans all over again! 50 Cent took a cue from foe Ja Rule and decided to use fresh juices from berries . . . okay, a Duke kit, in his hair in this new promo flick while Kanye stepped out looking like a nerd with swag [also the name of a dope site] at the Lanvin fashion show during Paris Fashion Week. Who was giving off more fever?
I hope you have a wide screen monitor to properly view all the fuckery at Fantasia’s birthday bash this past Saturday. There were women stomping around without shoes on, Tony the Tiger inspired tattoos, post-natal piglets . . . I can’t. I am about to go pray to my poster of dreadlock rasta Black Jesus Florida Evans style as soon as I hit publish on this shit.
That damn Lil’ Mama. She can’t stop because she won’t stop.
